Introduction Because database applications today reside in a complicated environment, various standards have been developed for accessing database servers. Some of the important standards: –ODBC (Open Database Connectivity) is the early standard for relational databases. –OLE DB is Microsoft’s older object-oriented interface for relational and other databases. –The.NET Framework and ADO.NET are the current Microsoft “dot NET” data access standards providing easier access to data. –JBDC (Java Database Connectivity) is the Java “equivalent” of ODBC.

Web Server Data Environment A Web server needs to publish applications that involve different data types. KROENKE AND AUER - DATABASE PROCESSING, 13th Edition © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. 12-6

The Role of the ODBC Standard KROENKE AND AUER - DATABASE PROCESSING, 13th Edition © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. 11-7

ODBC The ODBC (Open Database Connectivity) standard provides a DBMS-independent means for processing relational database data. It was developed in the early 1990s by an industry committee and has been implemented by Microsoft and many other vendors. The goal is to allow a developer to create a single application that can access databases supported by different DBMS products without needing to be changed or recompiled. KROENKE AND AUER - DATABASE PROCESSING, 13th Edition © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. 11-8

ODBC Architecture KROENKE AND AUER - DATABASE PROCESSING, 13th Edition © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. 11-9

ODBC Components ODBC consists of a data source, an application program, a driver manager, and a DBMS driver. A data source is the database, its associated DBMS, operating system, and network platform. –An ODBC data source can be a relational database, a file server, or a spreadsheet. An applications program issues requests to create a connection with a data source. KROENKE AND AUER - DATABASE PROCESSING, 13th Edition © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc

ODBC Components A driver manager determines the type of DBMS for a given ODBC data source and loads that driver in memory. A DBMS driver processes ODBC requests and submits specific SQL statements to a given type of data source. –A single-tier driver processes both ODBC calls and SQL statements. –A multiple-tier driver processes ODBC calls, but passes the SQL requests to the database server. KROENKE AND AUER - DATABASE PROCESSING, 13th Edition © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc

ODBC Driver Types: ODBC Multiple-Tier Driver KROENKE AND AUER - DATABASE PROCESSING, 13th Edition © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc

Conformance Levels Levels of conformance balance the scope of the ODBC standard. There are two types of conformance levels: –ODBC conformance levels concern the features and functions that are made available through the driver’s application program interface (API). A driver API is a set of functions that the application can call to receive services. –SQL conformance levels specify which SQL statements, expressions, and data types a driver can process.

SQL Conformance Levels KROENKE AND AUER - DATABASE PROCESSING, 13th Edition © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc

ODBC Data Source A data source is an ODBC data structure that identifies a database and the DBMS that processes it. Three types of data source names: –A file data source is a file that can be shared among database users having the same DBMS driver and privilege. –A system data source is local to a single computer and may be used by the operating system and any user on that system. System data sources are recommended for Web servers. To define a system data source name, the type of driver and the database need to be specified. –A user data source is available only to the user who created it.

32-Bit versus 64-Bit ODBC I The ODBC Data Sources program we have been using is for the 64-bit version of the ODBC data sources administration program, and will create 64-bit ODBC data sources. These will only work as long as every component in the Web application program chain is a 64-bit program. But, if any component is a 32-bit program, the 64-bit ODBC data source will not work. KROENKE AND AUER - DATABASE PROCESSING, 13th Edition © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc

32-Bit versus 64-Bit ODBC II In fact, when you are building the Web database applications in this chapter, if everything seems to be correctly done but the system still does not work, the most likely cause is a 32-bit program in the chain. To resolve this problem, you will need to use the 32-bit version of the ODBC Data Sources program. In Window 8 and Windows Server 2012, this is clearly labeled. In earlier versions of the Windows OS, it is located at C:\Windows\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe. KROENKE AND AUER - DATABASE PROCESSING, 13th Edition © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc

32-Bit versus 64-Bit ODBC III To resolve your Web database application problem, create a 32-bit ODBC data source using ODBC Administrator, and then revise your Web page code to use that ODBC data source. For more information on the programs in the Windows\SysWOW64 folder, see the Wikipedia article on WoW64 at en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WoW64. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WoW64 KROENKE AND AUER - DATABASE PROCESSING, 13th Edition © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc

32-Bit versus 64-Bit ODBC IV In versions of the Windows OS prior to Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012, the two icons for the two versions appear as shown below. Note that although the program icons are the same, the program names are different. Data Source (ODBC ) is the 64-bit version, and ODBC Administrator is the 32-bit version. KROENKE AND AUER - DATABASE PROCESSING, 13th Edition © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc

The Microsoft.NET Framework KROENKE AND AUER - DATABASE PROCESSING, 13th Edition © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc

The Role of OLE DB KROENKE AND AUER - DATABASE PROCESSING, 13th Edition © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc

OLE DB OLE DB is an implementation of the Microsoft OLE object standard. –OLE DB objects are COM objects and support all required interfaces for such objects. OLE DB breaks the features and functions of a DBMS into COM objects, making it easier for vendors to implement portions of functionality. –This characteristic overcomes a major disadvantage of ODBC. –With ODBC, a vendor must create an ODBC driver for almost all DBMS features and functions in order to participate in ODBC at all. KROENKE AND AUER - DATABASE PROCESSING, 13th Edition © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc

Object-Oriented Concepts An object-oriented programming object is an abstraction that is defined by its properties and methods. –An abstraction is a generalization of something. –A property specifies a set of characteristics of an object. –A method refers to actions that an object can perform. –A collection is an object that contains a group of other objects. KROENKE AND AUER - DATABASE PROCESSING, 13th Edition © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc

OLE DB Goals Create object interfaces for DBMS functionality pieces: –Query, update, transaction management, etc. Increase flexibility: –Allow data consumers to use only the objects they need –Allow data providers to expose pieces of DBMS functionality –Providers can deliver functionality in multiple interfaces –Interfaces are standardized and extensible Provide object interfaces over any type of data: –Relational and non-relational database, ODBC or native, VSAM and other files, , and others. Do not force data to be converted or moved from where it is KROENKE AND AUER - DATABASE PROCESSING, 13th Edition © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc

OLE DB Basic Constructs There are data consumers and data providers: –Data consumers—users of OLE DB functionality –Data providers—sources of OLE DB functionality An interface is a set of objects and the properties and methods they expose in that interface: –Objects may expose different properties and methods in different interfaces. An implementation is how an object accomplishes its tasks: –Implementations are hidden from the outside world and may be changed without impacting the users of the objects. KROENKE AND AUER - DATABASE PROCESSING, 13th Edition © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc

OLE DB Data Providers A rowset is equivalent to a cursor. OLE DB has two types of data providers: KROENKE AND AUER - DATABASE PROCESSING, 13th Edition © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc

The Role of ADO KROENKE AND AUER - DATABASE PROCESSING, 13th Edition © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc

The Role of ADO.NET KROENKE AND AUER - DATABASE PROCESSING, 13th Edition © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc

Data Provider A.NET data provider is a library of classes that provides ADO.NET services. Microsoft provides three data providers: –OLE DB data provider can be used to process any OLE DB-compliant data source. –SQL Server Client data provider is purpose-built for use with SQL Server. –Oracle Database Client data provider is purpose- built for use with Oracle Database. KROENKE AND AUER - DATABASE PROCESSING, 13th Edition © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc

Data Provider Components A connection object is similar to the ODBC’s connection object. A command object is created on an established connection. A data reader provides read-only, forward-only, fast access to database data. An application can get and put data to and from the database using the command object. A DataSet is an in-memory database that is disconnected from any regular database. –It distinguishes ADO.NET from the previous data access technology. KROENKE AND AUER - DATABASE PROCESSING, 13th Edition © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc

Data Provider Components KROENKE AND AUER - DATABASE PROCESSING, 13th Edition © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc

The ADO.NET DataSet A DataSet is an in-memory database that is disconnected from any regular database. DataSets can have: –Multiple tables, views, and relationships. Tables may have surrogate key (auto increment columns), primary keys, and be declared as unique. –Referential integrity rules and actions. –The equivalent of triggers. DataSets may be constructed from several different databases and managed by different DBMS. KROENKE AND AUER - DATABASE PROCESSING, 13th Edition © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc

The ADO.NET Object Model KROENKE AND AUER - DATABASE PROCESSING, 13th Edition © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc

The ADO.NET Dataset Object Model KROENKE AND AUER - DATABASE PROCESSING, 13th Edition © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc

DataSet Advantages DataSet contents and its XML schema can be easily formatted as an XML document. Also, XML schema documents can be read to create the structure of the dataset, and XML documents can be read to fill the dataset. DataSets are needed to provide a standardized, nonproprietary means to process database views. –This is important for the processing of views with multiple multivalue paths. KROENKE AND AUER - DATABASE PROCESSING, 13th Edition © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc

DataSet Disadvantages Because DataSet data is disconnected from the regular database, only optimistic locking can be used when updating the regular database with the DataSet. In the case of conflict, either the dataset must be reprocessed or the data change must be forced onto the database, causing the lost update problem. Thus, datasets cannot be used for applications in which optimistic locking is problematical. –Instead, the ADO.NET command object should be used. KROENKE AND AUER - DATABASE PROCESSING, 13th Edition © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc

JDBC JDBC is an alternative to ODBC and ADO that provides database access to programs written in Java. JDBC used to be a “nonacronym”—it didn’t stand for anything! Now it stands for Java DataBase Connectivity. JDBC drivers are available for most DBMS products: – KROENKE AND AUER - DATABASE PROCESSING, 13th Edition © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc

JDBC Driver Types KROENKE AND AUER - DATABASE PROCESSING, 13th Edition © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc

Java Servlets and Applets Java programs are compiled into an operating system independent bytecode. Various operating systems use their own bytecode interpreters a.k.a. Java virtual machines. An applet is transmitted to a browser via HTTP and is invoked on the client workstation using the HTTP protocol. A servlet is a Java program that is invoked on the server to respond to HTTP requests. Type 3 and Type 4 drivers can be used for both applets and servlets. Type 2 drivers can be used only in servlets. KROENKE AND AUER - DATABASE PROCESSING, 13th Edition © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc

JDBC Components KROENKE AND AUER - DATABASE PROCESSING, 13th Edition © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc

Java Server Pages Java Server Pages (JSP) provide a means to create dynamic Webpages using HTML, XML, and Java. JSPs provide the capabilities of a full object- oriented language to the page developer. –Neither VBScript nor JavaScript can be used in a JSP. –JSPs are compiled into machine-independent bytecode.

Introduction to XML Database processing and document processing need each other. –Database processing needs document processing for expressing database views. –Document processing needs database processing for storing and manipulating data. As Internet usage increases, organizations want to make their Webpages more functional by displaying and updating data from organizational databases. KROENKE AND AUER - DATABASE PROCESSING, 13th Edition © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc

XML XML, or Extensible Markup Language, was developed in the early 1990s: –XML is a subset of SGML, or Standard Generalized Markup Language. Today XML is a hybrid of document processing and database processing. –It provides a standardized yet customizable way to describe the content of documents. –XML documents can automatically be generated from database data and vice versa. SOAP is an XML-based standard protocol for sending messages of any type, using any protocol over the Internet. KROENKE AND AUER - DATABASE PROCESSING, 13th Edition © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc

XML XML is used for describing, representing, and materializing database views. XML is better than HTML because: –It provides a clear separation between document structure, content, and materialization. –It is standardized but allows for extension by developers. –XML tags accurately represent the semantics of their data. Document Type Declarations (DTDs) and XML Schemas can be used to describe the content of XML documents. SQL Server, Oracle Database, and MySQL can produce XML documents from database data. KROENKE AND AUER - DATABASE PROCESSING, 13th Edition © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc

XML DTD XML document consists of two sections: –Document Type Declaration (DTD) The DTD begins with DOCTYPE –Document data An XML document can be: –Type-valid if the document conforms to its DTD –Well-formed and not be type-valid, if It violates the structure of its DTD, or It has no DTD. A DTD may be stored externally so many documents can be validated against the same DTD. KROENKE AND AUER - DATABASE PROCESSING, 13th Edition © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc

XML Schema XML Schema is a standard for describing the content of an XML document, i.e., defining custom vocabularies. –Documents that conform to an XML Schema are called schema- valid. –An XML document can be well-formed and be neither type-valid nor schema-valid. Unlike DTDs, XML Schema documents are themselves XML documents that can be validated against the schema maintained by W3C.
